Hi Ellie,
is there an official statement by the WMF that explains why Wikimania 2020 is happening and that the funding for this event is secured? Wikimania does cost quite a lot of money and I was under the impression that it was unclear as to if, how and why Wikimania should take place 2020. But maybe I'm also mistaken on that point.
Best, Philip

No. We are looking more at rotating regions if we can, and excellent proposals/teams.

Hello Ellie,
Is Wikimania still on its programme of "1 EU/US Wikimania" followed by an "Away Wikimania"?
